All Aboard: Put Your Love on the (Railway) Line

Nothing beats the romance of the railroad. Hitch your honeymoon plans to a luxury, glass-domed rail car as it sweeps through the Canadian Rockies and immerse yourself in nature’s most majestic landscape aboard the Rocky Mountaineer.

When you think about riding the rails you might think of early settlers on long, exhausting treks across barren lands, but this is not your ancestor’s honeymoon. A trip on the Rocky Mountaineer is nothing short of luxurious. With seven mountain ranges to explore and four iconic rail routes carving through uninhabited wilderness, you’re in for one unforgettable journey.

“The Rocky Mountaineer is a scenic rail journey on a special train through the most beautiful parts of Western Canada including Seattle, Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Calgary,” said Nicole Czechowski, Leisure and Luxury Travel Specialist, The Travel Team. “The Rocky Mountaineer has luxurious seating, upscale dining cars, beautiful resorts for overnighting, impeccable service and glass domes for amazing 360-degree views while onboard.”

Let’s eliminate another worry you might be pondering – crammed sleeping quarters. There are no sleeper cars in the Rocky Mountaineer fleet. Each night, you’ll be transported to luxury hotels for overnight accommodations, with plenty of local dining and entertainment options to experience while you’re in town.

“Part of what makes rail travel so unique is that much of the route is not accessible by vehicle, whereas a train can circle the sides of mountains, carve through canyons and glide across overpasses for breathtaking vantage points you wouldn’t otherwise experience,” said Nicole. “You’ll be awestruck by the magnificent icy blue, glacier-fed waters of the Canadian wilderness; it’s like something you would find in Norway, and your pictures will turn out amazing.”

You can also pair the rail adventure with additional excursions throughout the trip. From adventurous to relaxing, there’s something for everyone. The Travel Team can help you personalize your honeymoon even further by adding an Alaskan cruise or extended stay at a favorite destination before or after your rail journey.

So, ditch the gasoline and GPS, and climb aboard for glorious scenery and a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s sure to get your marriage started on the right track.
